Compacted soils are used in earthworks such as construction of embankments, compacted cushions or road/railway foundation. Lime stabilization refers to the stabilization of soil by the addition of burned limestone products, either calcium oxide (quicklime, CaO) or calcium hydroxide (hydrated lime, Ca(OH)2). This paper presents: an extensive laboratory tests conducted to determine the optimal percentage of quicklime to reduce the excessive moisture to the optimal of compaction, the degree of compaction achieved by mixing in comparison to the compacted untreated material and the methodology for conducting the mixture and the compaction on site. The moisture reduction by adding quicklime method was applied to build a compacted cushion consisting of two types of cohesive materials: silty clay with moisture content with 5% greater than the optimum of compaction and loess (collapsible soil) with moisture content with 5…10% greater than the optimum of compaction

The stability of slopes is a critical challenge in various civil engineering projects, such as embankments, cut-slopes, landfills, dams, transportation infrastructure, and riverbank restoration. Stabilizing slopes using bioengineering methods is a sustainable approach that limits the negative impact of engineering works; such methods should be implemented and adopted worldwide. Geosynthetic materials and plant roots are sustainable for preventing erosion and surface landslides. The plants used for this paper are known to have beneficial effects on erosion control, namely Festuca arundinaceous, Dactylis glomerata, Phleum pratensis, Trifolium pratense, and Trifolium repens. Using vegetation as a bio-reinforcement method is often more cost effective and environmentally friendly than traditional engineering solutions, making a more sustainable engineering solution for shallow slope stabilization applications. The paper presents the erosion process that occurred on sandy slopes protected by organic soil layers and geosynthetic materials under rainfall simulation in scaled model tests.

The correct investigation of the foundation soil is essential for the optimal and efficient design of any structure. The interaction of a structure with the foundation soil can only be evaluated through the physical and mechanical characteristics of the intercepted geotechnical layers on the entire zone of influence. For this reason, the role of technical documentation that includes and summarizes field investigations and laboratory tests is particularly important. An important and sometimes complicated component in providing useful design information is the division into geotechnical or computational layers. This can be done at different levels, starting from the physical characteristics such as color, grain size distribution, plasticity and consistency and can continue with the evaluation of the mechanical characteristics of compressibility and shear strength. The aim of the paper is to create a graphical representation of the geotechnical parameters using a spatial interpolation technique (Kriging method). The creation of 2D maps using SURFER software assists geotechnical engineers in the correct interpretation of the geotechnical parameters. This interpolation technique for division into layers is also useful in quarries and borrows pits, when soil is used as construction material.

Geosynthetic materials for erosion control have the potential to significantly reduce the soil loss and to ensure the shallow stability of slopes. The paper presents the results of a scale model tests of a 2:3 (V:H) slope made from a very erodible soil, a sandy soil without and with 5 cm of topsoil, with and without vegetation, without and with different types of geosynthetics for erosional control. The slope models were subjected to heavy rainfall using a rainfall simulator. Results of the study show that the geosynthetics and vegetation generates a delay in the erosion process caused by the raindrops. Another result highlighted in this paper is the fact that the roots system improves the soil shear strength of the upper soil mass.

About Me
Tatiana Olinic is an Associate Professor in the field of Geotechnical and Foundation Engineering and Road Design at the Faculty of Land Reclamation and Environmental Engineering, University of Agronomic Sciences and Veterinary Medicine, Bucharest. She completed her Bachelor’s degree in Land Reclamation in 2009 and began her doctoral studies in 2010 at the Technical University of Civil Engineering, Bucharest, focusing on Geotechnical and Foundation Engineering. She defended her PhD thesis, titled Foundation Solutions on Difficult Soils for Local Material Constructions, in September 2013. Dr. Olinic's research has yielded approximately 35 scientific publications in the proceedings of national and international conferences and in Civil Engineering journals. She is actively involved in national and international professional associations related to Geosynthetics (IGS) and Soil Mechanics and Foundation Engineering (ISSMGE). Since 2014, she has contributed to around 75 geotechnical studies and projects, covering a range of applications, including residential and commercial real estate, roadways, waste landfill, industrial facilities, and wind turbines. Additionally, Dr. Olinic has led over 250 geotechnical studies for projects involving the expansion and replacement of public water supply and sewerage networks since 2019.
